South African Artist Khanyisa Becomes Spotify’s July EQUAL Ambassador

South African artist Khanyisa has joined Spotify’s EQUAL music program, becoming the latest ambassador for the month of July.

This prestigious appointment puts her in the company of other influential African women who are making waves in the music industry. Tyla, Sio, and Elaine, all hailing from South Africa, have previously headlined the program, showcasing their immense talent.

Reflecting on her journey in the music industry, Khanyisa expressed the challenges she faced as a woman in a predominantly male-dominated field.

With determination and courage, she stepped out of her comfort zone, turning barriers into opportunities.

Khanyisa attributes her strength and success to her faith and the grace that has guided her along the way.

Growing up in a musically inclined family, Khanyisa’s passion for music was nurtured from an early age.

She fondly remembers joyous singing sessions where the family would gather to share their love for music.

These experiences laid the foundation for her career as an artist, inspiring her to create music that uplifts, inspires, and motivates others.

EQUAL Africa, Spotify’s initiative, aims to highlight and amplify the voices of African female artists who are breaking down barriers and making a significant impact in the music industry.

Through this program, their music reaches a global audience, exposing listeners to their remarkable catalog.

Khanyisa’s musical journey took a significant turn when she became one of the top five finalists in the Vodacom NXT LVL music competition in 2017.

Since then, she has collaborated with renowned artists such as Kabza De Small, DJ Maphorisa, and Focalistic, releasing hit after hit that resonated with audiences worldwide.

Her latest EP, “Half Way,” showcases her exceptional talent and growth as an artist, with tracks like “Gyjima” and “Inkhukhu” receiving immense love from fans.
